Glad you got your money back.

Bought a watch from ebay a few months back. Seller did not respond to my mails after I paid the money. So got a little worried. But later, seller finally responded and apologised due to personal matters. Got the watch in the end. Seller had 500+ 100% positive feedback so I had something to assure myself that the seller won't want to cheat me.

Anyway, apologies for going off topic.

Possible to give us the link for the ebay item in question? Or the seller's ID? Please PM if against forum rules.

Whats the thing & how much u paid ?

Want to ask what type of shipping service you all choose when ship from US? I have bad experience with 1st class international mail services( cheapest), coz it cannot be track. Bought a watch few months ago but didn't receive. Lucky the seller agree to give full refund.
Is priority mail and registered 1st class mail secure enough?

That a very responsible seller 

[chrisyen]

best way to ship from US is fedex ! parcel pro ! UPS ! DHL !

usps priority is also ok if u purchase insurance!  but tracking is updated !
i prefer usps express, at least time is guaranttee !
buy insurance.... u can trust US postmen also u cant trust malaysia postmen!
